Imagine it is 1965 and you are 18 years old and about to graduate from high school. some of your friends are planning to enlist in the military. they may or may not be sent to vietnam. other friends have decided not to enlist, but if they are drafted they will serve willingly. several young men you know are going to college and will get deferments from military service. for some, the deferment is the only reason they are enrolling in school. a neighbor who received his draft notice has gone to canada rather than report for military duty because he believes the war in vietnam is wrong. what about you? what will you do? why?

It was wrong. it was a war of capitalism vs communism. They were fighting for Democracy which at the time was under threat from communism. The only reason America entered the war was because France withdrew forces from there and Vietnam declared itself an independent country. It ended being split one side sided With the U.s. (south Vietnam) and the other with the USSR (north Vietnam) and from there on is history

native american contribution: the patriots from britain learn how to hunt, fish, and introduce diversity within cultures.

african americans: indirectly introduced the idea of diversity to americans. africans coming to america because of slavery taught white americans that people come from different backgrounds and colors. it also built america's economic stability for a great period of time. 

women: make america what it is today. there are some societies that are in the world currently that do not give women the same right we give women here in the united states. because women have rights here in the united states, other countries' citizens strive to come to america, especially women, since they have equal rights in the united states. this is important because america is seen and desired by many in the world. 

children: children are our future. we learn from our elders and carry out things the same or differently learning from america's history. we continue tradition and change tradition if it is needed. 

the first two years of american revolution was not very encouraging for the patriots since the british were far superior in sea power, arms and troops.
